Anyone who still thinks top breeding for marathon and One Loft Races is just a matter of luck should have a serious look at TopPigeons this week. Mat Janssen from Gennep does not offer one, but two auctions at the same time. Two loaded rounds of dynamite, presented as MAT JANSSEN [1] and [2], with a total of 22 young breeders, all with DNA certificate and gender determination.
This is not a clearance sale. This is the shop window of a breeding colony you rarely see. Unique, professional and built on nothing but top blood from PWA van der Meulen, Verweij-de Haan, Robin Bakhuis, Bert Saarloos, Piet de Vogel, Team de Hoogh and Chris Debacker.
At Pigeon Boss we are proud to support Mat Janssen once again with the promotion of this fantastic Mat Janssen Pigeon Auction. This is exactly the kind of project that lifts our sport.
Who is Mat Janssen?
Short and straight. Mat is not a man of big talk, but of structure. He built a successful career in business and then decided to go all in on a professional breeding project.
On his breeding loft in Gennep everything turns around one principle: only the best can produce the best. Mat works with strict selection, proven performance genes, carefully balanced pairs and a mindset you usually see in top sport and business, not in an average backyard loft. You see that in the bloodlines and in the way this auction is set up.
Enough background. Time to zoom in on the two auction parts and why you should log in and bid today.
In this first part you get eleven young breeders with a strong focus on PWA van der Meulen and Verweij-de Haan, reinforced by crosses with Bakhuis, Team de Hoogh and Piet de Vogel. Perfect for fanciers who want to upgrade their long-distance base, both for classic nationals and OLR.

Why you should bid now on the Mat Janssen Pigeon Auction
Because these are not just nice names on paper. These are genetic building stones from families that have been on national and international result sheets in recent years. From Milos and Red Rose to Magic Ad and Mister Gijs, from Canela at Derby Arona to De Hoogh pigeons with OLR references.
And because Mat Janssen runs his breeding loft like a top sport project. Everything is DNA certified and sexed. No guessing, no question marks. That saves you years of trial and error and fits perfectly with fanciers who seriously want to invest in their future on the big long distance and in international One Loft Races.
At Pigeon Boss we are proud that Mat has chosen us again to put this Mat Janssen Pigeon Auction in the spotlight. We want to honour that trust by saying one thing very clearly: if you do not at least have a good look and compare on TopPigeons now, you might be letting exactly that stock bird slip away that you will regret for years to come.
Click, look, compare and most of all: bid.
Remember I was the one who told you about this auction when you are on the podium!
